So I know all of 3 people who actually own and use their boards, and theyre never down for sessions, so whos from around here, and what hills do you usually bomb?
im from bethany, so i just screw around on the side roads because my town is basically one giant hill
Indeed the garage in Waterbury shreds. Scovill St. Parking Garage - directions are on the Palace Theater Website. If you go - make sure there are no attendents and then go to the top to park. I have seen Waterbury police just hanging out up top.
Not into screaming down mondo hills here for this old geezer. Seymour has a couple of good runs - we had a slide fest there last year. Beacon Falls and Oxford have some decent runs too - but Bethany probaly beats them all for hill size.
Look for New Haven sessions with Wayne from Sur-Rodz. Street cruising and garage shoping - lots of fun though. His boards are way sick - super huge cruisers.
I want to try the bike path in Cheshire - yes mellow crusing - but it would be good exercise. We have done the Farminting Trail too - Spudman found an abanded 4 story garage. Gotta check that out sometime.
We should definately meet up sometime and hit up the garage. I am off to Flordia for a week next week - but will look here for some possible runs afterwards.
You want fast downhill??? Hook up with RBriggs - he will not disappoint...
And getcher arse to Wheelabrator some Sunday soon.

wow that does suck - that is not the section in Cheshire is it? My daughter broke her wrist when we did the Farmington trail - she was on her bike though. Either way that biotch claimed two broken wrists that I know of!

Howdy - back from Florida - looking to set up some sessions at the Waterbury garage, and maybe the Farmington Trail.
Anyone around the weekend of the 4th? We could do a day session at the Garage maybe.
I gotta get Dave from Fifth Deminsion on a longboard. He is a snowboarder and has yet to try longboarding. I told him I would be trying to plan something, and will ask him to join us once we get it figured out.
Shout back some dates/times that are good for you.

Ok, well I live next to Chesire in Camden, but I have don't the whole canal way multiple times. There's the smallest uphill grade when going towrds chesire making pumping a little bit harder. It's easier to start in Chesire and work your way down to Hamden/New Haven. What are these cracks you speak of, because I haven't run into anything that bad on the Canal way.
I can give you guys some pointers.
Leeks you already know of the nice stash of hills by the Hamden/North Haven border, near Arlen Davie. you guys should go there. If you need actual directions to some good runs there just ask, I can head you towards some speed runs or some long mellow turny 25 mph carving runs that can be taken as speed runs if you push/tuck well enough.
I'll be home around the 22nd of august. There are some runs in Chesire I found too, but pavement is sketchy.
